Sell your semi truck for cash in Belmont the easy and convenient way

FMCSA’s carrier census lists 67 active carriers based in Belmont, and 64 of them are marked intrastate against just 3 that cross state lines. If your truck belongs to one of those California-only operations, its registration and title will both be California papers, so have the pink slip and the current registration card together before you call us.

Of those Belmont carriers, the federal carrier census counts 18 as private fleets hauling their own goods rather than freight for hire. A box truck or flatbed that moved a company’s own stock is often titled to the business, not the driver; check whose name is on the title and who in the company can sign it.

One Belmont fleet in the FMCSA census runs 17 power units with 16 drivers, a second runs 7 units with 7 drivers, and a third runs 4. If you are selling several trucks out of a small yard like these, send us one list with each VIN and where each unit is parked, and we can plan collection of all of them together.

General freight is the most common cargo line among Belmont carriers, at 18 of them in FMCSA’s carrier census, followed by household goods at 6. Moving vans and dry vans from these outfits tend to be parked at a home base or a customer lot; tell us the street address and whether a tow truck can get in and out.

Three Belmont carriers haul garbage, refuse and trash and another three carry paper products, the FMCSA census shows. For a refuse packer or roll-off, send photos of the body, the hoist or packer controls and the chassis plate along with the VIN.

Ten Belmont carriers reported annual mileage to FMCSA, and their median was 15,000 miles per truck. Note the odometer reading and the VIN when you write to us; with those two figures we can look up the build sheet and ask fewer questions.

In FMCSA’s carrier census, 79 drivers working for Belmont carriers stay within 100 miles of base, while 47 go farther. A truck from the short-radius group is likely sitting in town or nearby on the Peninsula when you sell it, which keeps the pickup simple.

For the 47 long-range drivers counted by FMCSA, the truck may be away from Belmont at the moment you decide to sell. You do not have to bring it home first: tell us the city it is in, who holds the keys there, and we arrange the collection where it stands.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the port at Redwood City about 4.6 miles east of Belmont, and the North American Rail Network places Redwood City Yard roughly 4.9 miles to the south-east. If your tractor or day cab is parked inside either terminal, give us the gate contact along with the address.

Up the bay, South San Francisco Yard sits about 11.6 miles north-west on the North American Rail Network, and the Port of Oakland is 14.8 miles north by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ measure. If your truck pulled containers out of Oakland and is parked across the water, that is fine; send the yard address and we will route the collection there.

The Energy Information Administration lists the Brisbane petroleum product terminal about 13.6 miles north-west of Belmont. Owners of fuel or tank trucks that loaded at Brisbane should keep the cargo tank inspection certificates with the title, since they tell us what the tank has carried.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration records Langley Hill Quarry, a crushed-stone operation, about 12.6 miles south of town. Dump trucks and transfer rigs that hauled stone from Langley Hill can be collected at the quarry lot or at your yard; just tell us which, and whether the bed is loaded.

Belmont has 412 construction jobs out of 6,844 total in 2023, according to the Census Bureau’s LEHD job counts, and 82 construction establishments in County Business Patterns. For a contractor’s truck, include a photo of the door decal or the equipment number with the title you send.

Wholesale trade adds 283 jobs and manufacturing 209 in Belmont, per the same 2023 LEHD figures from the Census Bureau. Stake beds and straight trucks from these shops often carry liftgates; mention the liftgate model and whether its service sticker is current.

Potted flowering plants top the crop list for San Mateo County’s 250 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with mushrooms and foliage plants behind them. A refrigerated box truck that carried nursery stock or mushrooms should come with its reefer unit hours and serial number written down.

On California’s clean-truck rules, the California Air Resources Board’s Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation is contested, its zero-emission sales requirement has enforcement paused, and the drayage and high-priority fleet sections of Advanced Clean Fleets have been repealed. You can still sell a diesel truck registered in Belmont; keep the latest smog or opacity test result with the paperwork.

• Our tractor sits inside Redwood City Yard; does it have to come up to Belmont first?Redwood City Yard is about 4.9 miles south-east of Belmont on the North American Rail Network, and we collect it there. Give us the name of whoever controls the yard gate so the visit can be arranged.
• We are a Belmont private fleet and the truck is in the company’s name; which of us puts a signature on the title?Belmont has 18 private fleets in FMCSA’s carrier census, and for each the title is in the business name. An officer or owner authorized to sign for the company signs it; bring the registration card too.
• The truck is on a long-haul run out of state at the moment; will you collect it where it is?FMCSA’s carrier census counts 47 drivers at Belmont carriers who work beyond 100 miles of base, and a truck away from town is still one we collect. Tell us where it sits and who has the keys, and we arrange collection at that spot.
